Setting up a new unraid vm

[Trilex]

After watching linus's video about running 2 gamers off 1 cpu i was wondering if i could do the same with my hardware. 

 

Specs 

i3 7100 

8gb ram 2400Mhz 

Asus b250M plus mobo

550 watt psu

2x gtx 960

2x120gb ssd 

2x500gb hdd 

 

My CPU is compatible with Vt-d and Vt-x, though somewhere in the video it says i need iommu and hvm (do i have this?). Will this work?

 

Thanks

No as you only have 2 cores.

You need at least 1 for each VM and 1 for unraid (needs it to virtualise)

are there any cheap 6th or 7th gen cpus with 4 cores?
